Why Didn't You

Charley sought to know me
Pulled my skirt up, darling
He’s only a little boy
He can’t recognize the world

His father, I’m cuddling
I’m hesitant, are we
Supposed to be alone
Are his hands meant to roam

Me, oh me
But isn’t he your new lover
Isn’t Charley like a brother
Oh me, I’m sorry, I’m listening
Oh me, did I do something

I’m older, we’re fighting
I’m not exaggerating, oh mother
Unseam your eyes
You’re naiver than I

You let him back, why would you
He’s capable of more, your
Desire won’t refute my truth
It’s how desperate he’s got

You, oh you
He was never your lover
Charley was never a brother
Oh you, why aren’t you listening
Oh you, why didn’t you do something

No, it wasn’t my makeup
No, it wasn’t my perfume
It wasn’t the nights I stayed up
With the light on in my room

No, it wasn’t my friendliness
No, it wasn’t my soft voice
It wasn’t me being young
How can I help what’s not my choice

Oh you
He was never
Oh you
Charley was never
Oh you
Why aren’t you listening
Why didn’t you do something
Why didn’t you do something
Why did…
